ASUS DS300f G2 must use at least TWO power supplies. What happens if a fan fails?

several support options for ASUS Storage users to access information and updates. We encourage you to use one
of our electronic services, which provide product information updates for the most efficient service and support.)
immediately to schedule replacement of the suspect power supply as soon as possible. Running the unit in this
condition for more than three weeks may shorten subsystem life and void your warranty.
What happens if a logical drive goes critical?
On the front of ASUS DS300f G2, the logical drive LED turns amber and the buzzer sounds (if enabled). See "ASUS
DS300f G2 is Beeping" on page 201 and "LEDs Display Amber or Red" on page 202.
ASUS DS300f G2's Netsend service does not report all events to Windows PCs.
This condition results from a shortcoming in Windows Messenger that causes miscommunication with Netsend.
ASUS Storage is developing a workaround at the time of this writing. Note that all events are correctly reported in
the Event Viewer.

How can I tell when the ASUS DS300f G2 has fully booted?
When the ASUS DS300f G2 is fully booted up, the Power and FRU LEDs light up green. If a disk array is present, the
Logical Drive LED lights up green also. The Controller heartbeat LED blinks green once per second for five seconds,
goes dark for ten seconds, then blinks green once per second for five seconds again. See "Front Panel LEDs" on
page 202.

Why am I not able to log in?
Check the spelling and case. User names and passwords are case sensitive.
I have entered correct user name and password, but still I am not able to log in.
The Administrator may have deleted or disabled your user name.
The login screen says "Login failed: the requested service is busy."
The subsystem might still be booting or rebooting. Dual controller subsystems take longer because the controllers
boot individually, then they synch to each other. Wait a few moments, then try again.

I can access the ASUS DS300f G2 over my company's intranet. But I can't access it from an outside Inter-
net connection. How do I make the Internet connection work?
This condition is not related to the ASUS DS300f G2 or ASUS Storage Management. The problem is caused by your
firewall or network connection protocol. Contact your network administrator for help.
I tried to log into ASUS Storage Management but my browser showed the message "cannot be dis-
played." What is the problem?
The browser decided prematurely that ASUS Storage Management was not responding. Click the browser's Refresh
button. This action usually brings up the login screen.

ASUS Storage Management was working OK. But then it timed out. What do I do now?
ASUS Storage Management times out when 24 minutes have passed with no user activity. User activity means any
action you do in ASUS Storage Management to view or manage the subsystem. This feature is included for security
purposes.
Have your administrator change the timeout interval.
Or to prevent ASUS Storage Management from timing out, periodically click the interface with your mouse.
